Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The tough reality of the high cost of living has been a source of favourable commentaries and criticisms, political defenses and pushbacks, and occasional hopes and lingering disappointments. 

Dear Editor, The election of Guyana as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council is indeed a big boost to the country from the standpoint of its own national security interests and that of the wider international community.

Dear Editor, GECOM, which failed to update the public on the conduct of Discipline Services balloting, found the time to comment on the Stabroek News report on the service-persons who could not cast their ballots on Friday because their names were omitted from the lists at the places where they are stationed and intended to cast their ballot.

Dear Editor, In that storm in a teacup episode, it has to be queried how was the figure of perceived and supposedly disenfranchised members of the joint services arrived at?

Dear Editor, The PNC cabal continues to operate in an alternate universe where they believe Guyanese have forgotten their corrupt, evil and abhorrent policies and actions that inflicted severe pain and suffering on ordinary Guyanese whom they now pretend to embrace in opposition.

Dear Editor,  You should smack yourself for missing it.   Shashi Tharoor’s article “The Modi Decade” had a semblance of objectivity about Indian development under Modi.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has noted the contents of an article published in the Monday, 5th June 2023 edition of the Stabroek News with the headline, “Alexander accuses GECOM of disenfranchising 10% of joint services voters.”

Dear Editor, Our worst tragedy in recent memory took place on May 21, 2023 at Mahdia in Region Eight, and after milking every drop of public relations from the heartbreaking event, the Irfaan Ali government now seems anxious for Guyanese to move right along and return to business as usual.

Dear Editor, If the amount is correct, it is a tad late in looking to park Natural Resource Fund dollars in comforting investments (“NRF for safe investments, as below US$500M sources say…”, SN June 5, 2023). 

Dear Editor, Commissioner Vincent Alexander’s claim that GECOM disenfranchised some 900 or 10 per cent of Disciplined Services’ members who were qualified to vote on June 2, ‘because their names were not on the list’ is mystifying to say the least.

Dear Editor, In the aftermath of Guyana’s worst fire that cut short the lives of 20 of our precious Amerindian children at Mahdia, there was some apparent “pass the buck” and blaming among Government Ministries.

Dear Editor, I think Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton would readily admit that his response at a recent Press Conference that he would release more details on the party’s oil policy “at the right time” could have been better.

Dear Editor, The early morning traffic along the Railway line is one way, in a western direction, in the mornings from 7:00 – 9:00 hrs in the morning.

Dear Editor, A recent letter in SN, `Inappropriate statement on incarnation,’ by C.

Dear Editor, Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony recently announced that a health-screening initiative will be launched in schools nationwide through a joint effort by the Ministries of Health and Education.

Dear Editor, In October 2020, an Order was issued by the High Court of Guyana to slash the term of ExxonMobil’s Liza-I environmental permit down to five years from 20; the amended Liza-1 permit is now expired (May 31, 2022) and the Liza Two permit expires on April 25, 2024.

Dear Editor, Within a few days, citizens will go to the Polls to vote in the Local Government Election.

Dear Editor, The acceptance of one into your fold, who openly supported the return to office by any means, when it was known a loss was the outcome,  seems a measure intent on portraying democracy in action. 

Dear Editor, Reference is made to your article in Sunday Stabroek of June 4, 2023, regarding differences in positions advanced by the Government of Guyana and IDPADA-G to the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent.

Dear Editor, It was disgusting to see a private matter being turned into a political circus and dragged into the fray.
